Objective To study the diagnosis and radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Methods Retrospective analysis was made on the clinical feature and the effect of radical resection on 38 cases of hilar cholangiocarcinomas.Results Diagnosis was made in all of the patients preoperatively.The radical resection was perfomed on 38 patients.Of them, 3(7.9%) died after operation.After operation, 5 cases (13.2%) developed bile leakage,and 2 of the 5 cases developed subphrenic abscess,which were cured by drainage; 4(10.5%) had right hydrothorax that was cured by conservative therapy; and 3(7.9%)had incision split that was cured by resuture. Among the 35 postoperative survivors,34 (97.1%) were followed up, the 1- and 3-year survival rates were 91.9% and 35.2%.None of the patients survived for 5 years. Conclusions It′s still difficult to make early diagnosis in hilar cholangiocarcinoma.The diagnosis mainly depends on the combination of imaging examinations. Nowadays the radical resection rate of hilar cholangiocarunoma is still low, the recurrence and metastasis are common after operation, and few patients can survive for a long time. It suggests that even in radical operation for hilar cholangiocarcinoma, the regions of resection and sweep are not enough,and the operative procedure needs to improve further.

Objective To investigate the effect of surgical treatment and the influence factors of treatment effect in patieats with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods The clinical materials of 408 cases of HCC who underwent surgical intervention in recent 8 years were retrospectively analyzed. Results The 408 patients accounted for 43.9% of patients with HCC admitted during the same time. Of the 408 patients, large HCC accounted for 81.9% of patients, 8.5% of cases complicated by portal vein thrombus (PVT) ,and 4.8% of cases complicated by bile duct thrombus (BDT). In this series, 118 cases received left external lobectomy, 97 cases received left hemihepatectomy, 112 cases received right hemihepatectomy, 73 cases received right segmentectomy , 8 cases received left and righ segmentectomy ,35 cases received hepatectomy combining with removal of PVT , 20 cases received hepatectomy combined with thrombectomy of BDT; 48 cases received hepatectomy combined with implanment of drug delivery system (DDS) (35 patients with portal vein thrombus received DDS through portal vein). Three hundred and two cases had postoperative complications, including subdiaphragm abscesses,lung infection. upper digestive tract bleeding,pleural effusion ,ascites,wound spliting etc. Mortalily was 2.7%; cancer residual rate was 18.4%;postoperative recurrence and/or metastasis was 73.0%.The 1,3and 5-year survival rate was 73.9%,51.3%, 35.5 % respectively. Conclusions This results show that most of the patients with HCC received surgical operation treatment are in advanced stage, postoperative recurrence and/or metastasis are the main influence factors of treatment effect.

Objective To investigate the approaches for diagnosis and treatment of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(ICC)and asgess its prognosis factors.Methods The clinical data of 86 patients with ICC in our hospital from January 1995 to December2005 were retrospeetively analyzed.All patients were divided into two groups according to the treatment method,including hepatectomy and lymphatic clearance group(Group A,n=42)and hepateetomy group(Group B,n=44),and their clinicopathological variables were analyzed.Resuits The 1-,3-and 5-year survival rates were 77.81%and 35.21%,20.93%and 19.82%,2.31%and 0%respectively between group A and group B.There was significantly difference between these two groups(P＜0.01).The analysis showed that resection and lymphatic clearance were correlated to prognosis.The 1-,3-and 5-year survival rates were 59.21%,26.21%,and 20.11% respectively in 47 patients who were found no lymph node metastasis,and the 1-,3-and 5-year survival rates were 19.82%,2.31%and 0% respectively in 39 patients who were found lymph node metastasis.There was significantly difference in survival rate between group A and group B(P＜0.01).Condusions Reseetability and lymphatic clearance are two significant factors correlated to survival of the patients with ICC.Aggresgive treatment of lymph node metastasis in hepatoduodenal ligament is an important strategy to improve survival rates and strengthen patient's life quality.
